Gallery: Bad parking jobs, part 2

The "hazard lights delusion", whereby the driver believes they can park wherever they wish as long as they put the flashers on. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

Another example of the same phenomenon - especially true when used to block both parallel-parked cars at the side of the road AND a bike lane at the same time. This takes talent, people. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

Go easy on this driver. Clearly he's lucky if he even makes it to the parking lot in this old beater. No; wherever it stops, it's parked - and there's nothing any of us can do about it. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

The red car's driver, jerk that he is, parked at the edge of a pedestrian pathway and simultaneously made it nearly impossible for the middle car's driver to get out. This isn't just bad parking; it's evil. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

As any good comedian knows, if you're out of material, - there's only one thing left to do: improvise. Similarly, if a parking lot's out of spaces, don't give up; just create your own. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

It's late at night. It's cold outside. This guy couldn't be bothered to spend all that time parking properly. Just find a spot, turn the wheels and stop somewhere. Close enough! Now off to Costco for a club pack of salami! Flickr Creative Commons photo.

Ok, so you drive an enormous Cadillac Escalade that's not always so easy to park. This might be a legitimate excuse if the spot was small - rather than extra-wide with double-lines on each side. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

We've seen the "perpindicular parallel park" done before. Trouble is, it only ever works with a Smart Car or a vehicle of similar size. BMW SUV? Not so much. Flickr Creative Commons photo.

A double-park this brazen is rarely executed by the driver of a beat-up old Toyota Camry. Guess there's a first for everything. Flickr Creative Commons photo.
